Porteus

New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

1.0 I have removed 1), these were on ahau's 3.1 version and 2) libx*, you are right they are not necessary.
But qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly is the package provided by usm and available in in pkgs.org for slackware 13.2.

Once removed and without my genuine gimp-solibs from gimp only libraries the module goes down to 90,3 MB.

qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly (this seems to be unecessary in my module, is it because of pyqt?)

In yours 07-printing-x86_64 compared to mine there is additional packages :
exo-0.10.7-x86_64-1
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11-noarch-1 (I am not sure this is really needed for upgraded cups, we will have to search)
qpdf-6.0.0-x86_64-1 (quite sure it is not needed with cups 2.1.4, which works completely with pdf,*** has to be checked out)

sane-1.0.25-x86_64-2 (*** this might be why scanner does not work, I will have to verify)

You have more recent packages than mine (so it seems better to pick up from pkgs.org than usm):
foomatic-filters-4.0.17-x86_64-1
hplip-3.16.8-x86_64-1dj
PyQt5-5.7-x86_64-1alien
simple-scan-3.20.0-x86_64-1jsc

This is what I did in the previous post. I used the two lists that you gave and then compared the them (your package and mine) and gave the result of the differences.

What I will do is use your module set of packages and then add and remove my extra packages until I get to scan with my brother printer. And provide the result. We will keep what will be left and testers will tell us if anything is missing. I will do that tonite.
